Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Floyd Landis was not stripped of his title because of his hypobaric chamber.
Excellent film, BTW.

As a Rafa fan I find it a bit insulting you're mixing his name up with Novak's. Anyhow, Djokovic's sudden surge was all mental. He already had it in him but he was just intimidated by Fed and Rafa. He played them pretty early and now that he's gotten it all together.

Hyperbaric??? I thought they were using HYPObaric tents to simulate high altitude and stimulate a high blood count.

Am I missing something?

Where have you been?
A hyperbaric tent is where they pump coffee fumes into the sleep chamber.
